    Summary note
    Theater Planning: Facilities for Performing Arts and Live Entertainment is an introduction to the design and construction of performing arts building. It is in the planning of these buildings that the disciplines of performing arts and architecture meet-each with its own vocabulary, processes, and conceptual constructs. This book introduces theater planning to students and practitioners of each field, and provides a detailed guide to the process and the technical requirements particular to theater buildings. Part I is a guide to the concepts and practices of architecture and construction, as applied to performing arts buildings. Part II is a guide to the design of performing arts buildings, with detailed descriptions of the unique requirements of these buildings. Each concept is illustrated with line drawings and examples from the author's extensive professional practice. Book jacket.
